This year our theme is THE PARABLES. Did you know that Charlotte Mason herself wrote poetry on the parables of Jesus? We will be focusing more on the writings and time period of Charlotte Mason this year as the parables come to life for us! As this calendar year was the 100th anniversary of Charlotte Mason's death, you can expect us to celebrate big!
Each day a morning session for adults is offered while school aged children have their own session. Afternoons are full of occupations. Organized handicrafts, boating, hiking the 200 plus acres, swimming in pool or lake, playing games, resting, music, picture study, brush drawing to just name a few of the things that keep us interacting as families together. Evenings are for book discussions, teen time, bonfires and sky watching.
Conference fee includes 12 buffet style family meals eaten out of doors.
This year one of our speakers will be the Reverend Tobias A. Karlowicz SSC, PhD. Rev. Karlowicz is the Canon Theologian of the Diocese of Quincy and assisting priest at St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church in Peoria, Illinois, where he assists with teaching and pastoral care.
In addition to his pastoral ministry, Fr Karlowicz has taught as an adjunct professor at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Liturgics and in Anglican Church History. He is the author of The Sacramental Vision of Edward Bouverie Pusey, has published in Ecclesiology, and has contributed articles to the Nashotah House blog, The Chapter. His ongoing academic research concerns the theological response to societal and intellectual changes in 19th c. England. Within the Anglican Church in North America, Fr Karlowicz has served on the writing and revisions committees of To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism and on the Theological Task Force on Holy Orders. In addition, he is Cubmaster of a local Cub Scout pack. His wife Becky works for the OSF Healthcare System in Peoria and serves on the board of the Anglican Church Camp of the Midwest.
To help us understand Mason and her time even more Reverend Karlowicz' presentation to parents during camp will be Anglican Theology during the life of Charlotte Mason: Themes and Influences.
Join us for some fun on the prairie while we share time as families at MennoHaven campground in Tiskilwa Illinois!
